"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending all my money, I didn't care
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
Bootlegged whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, and nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
Gonna hang on to it 'til the eagle grins

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In my pocket, not one penny
And my friends, I haven't any

But if I get myself back on my feet again
Everybody wanna be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
I mean: when you're down and out

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In my pocket, not one penny
And my friends, I haven't any

But when I get myself back on my feet again
Everyone'll wanna be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you're down and out
When you're down and out
